Pure water boils at `373.15 K` and nitric acid boils at `359.15 K`. An azeotropic mixture of `H_(2)O` and `HNO_(3)` boils at `393.15 K`. Distilling the azeotropic mixture will cause

A

pure water to distil over first

B

pure nitric acid to distil over first

C

one of them to distil over with a small amount of the other.

D

both of them to distil over in the same composition as that of the mixture being distilled.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4
Azeotropes are binary mixture (nonideal solutions) which have the same composition in liquid and vapour phase and hence boil at a constant temperature. In such cases, it is not possible to seprate the components.
